That's disappointing. My buddy (who is surprisingly inept at guitar) was pretty good at Irish folk, and I wanted to hear some genuine shit. What's the deal with an Irish dude playing an American instrument like the banjo? Is there an Irish/kiwi version of banjo playing? Also, 4 or 5 string?

I never played it much professionally - my paying customers were USian tourists who wanted to hear Irish music (I don't perform much these days). Banjo is very, VERY big in Irish traddy music (eg, Tommy Makem). I play mostly 5 string long necks, but I also play 4 string. Can't abide short necks, though. Boru

I got me a 5 string hollow back. So backwards. I thought I'd never get used to my thumb riding the treble. Lol
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue  RE: Ask A Musically Inclined Irish Ex-pat Kiwi With A Farming Background

Does Kiwi Guinness taste differently than domestic Guinness?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
